got the impression that the paleo diet is about eating a lot of meat, since meat is one of the main components. However, the dash diet says to limit meat to 6oz a day at the most. It has meat on it's list, but goes on to explain about being careful about consuming too much meat.

But I was specifically concerned about the meat. since there isn't much on the list to choose from on the Paleo diet, I'm guessing people turn to the meat. Although I do have to admit, that I'm not sure if I understand why the Dash Diet wouldn't specifically say you can eat as much lean chicken or fish as you want.

It seems like the dash diet is basically just the general "eat healthy" eating plan that provides a varied and balanced diet. I don't see anything special or novel in it. Not that it needs to have anything special to be a good sensible diet but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.
